Welcome to Marchuary

Where I Live, the months go …April, May, Junuary, July, August… because May and July are usually quite warm, while June somehow often resembles January. Of course Mom planned this out to make sure the Strawberries get just the right combination of Morning Drizzle and Afternoon Sunshine so they Fatten up Aromatic, Firm but Tender and Super Sweet without that tacky Sugary texture that grinds your Teeth.

Well, at least that was true before the Chemists crossed them with Golfballs to improve their Shelf-life. Chemists, not generally being Highly Sensitive People, didn’t notice that they now Lacked Aroma, Tenderness, and Sweetness. But they did have the Shelf-life of a Golfball! Kinda like the famous Flavr Savr “Tomato” that was crossed with a Baseball and supposedly “Loved by Housewives” (whom they never actually asked), and survived as a Commercial Success for about a week and a half.

Traditionally, March begins our season of horizonal Big Tide-Spotless Bright White Puffball Clouds (Towering Cumulus) on a gorgeous Blue-Sky Background. This year the Sun is hesitating to leave Mexico, so at night it’s still in the 20s F, with Skin Chill factors of 10 below Reasonable. So Locals will recognize the “-uary” pun, while everyone else, Coincidentally, will probably think “Mortuary,” though most of the Victims of 2023 so far haven’t had nearly so formal a sendoff.

March 1, 2023 March 1, 2023, Damocles (Fear of Accountability) moves into Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage) until 22 August 2023. Till now, since December 1994, we’ve been concerned with our Accountability to Political and Social Rules, like our local zoning laws and our Relationships, especially with Neighbors (Damocles in Aquarius). These concerns have been Impacting us Emotionally, Triggering our Karma, since April 2021, during which time Damocles has been Dancing back and forth between Aquarius (Rules) and Pisces (Emotions). This Dance will continue till December 2025, when Damocles will enter Pisces “for good” (till its next Zodiacal Loop). With Damocles in Pisces, we will Suffer Mightily if we Fail to Accept Accountability for our Emotions. That means we stop Blaming them on other people, and Realize that, as Iyanla Vanzant tells us, An Emotion is Described by only One Word – everything else is a Thought About Our Emotions! If it takes us longer than two minutes to Let Go of an Emotion, it’s not Present-Moment, it’s Karma. Changing that Nasty Self-Sabotaging Habit must be our First Priority if we have any Hope of finding 5D, OR any Inner Peace. The 40-year orbit of Damocles stretches from 1.6 AU (Earth-Sun distances), just inside the Orbit of Mars, to 23 AU, just beyond Uranus. It spends about two thirds of its Orbit in Aquarius, which explains a lot about how Huper Politics has been so screwed up over the span of HisStory, and continue to be. Relate this to your own Personal History and Journal, and to your own natal chart: Damocles was or is or will be in Pisces during April-July 2021, March-July 2022, March-August 2023, March-September 2024, February-October 2025, and December 2025-May 2029. March 1, 2023, Arache (Grandmother Spider Who Weaves the Web of Life) moves into Aries (A New Beginning with a New Spiritual Agenda) till 3 May 2023. We can PIAVA that Huperity makes major Progress toward Learning to Respect Nature as the Source of Our Sustenance. With it’s 4¼-year Orbit, Arachne was last in Aries between January and March of 2019, when Greta started touring the World. In the upcoming Cycle, Arache will Dally most in Libra (most of 2025), where the World’s Social Order will Transform to the New Agenda, and in Capricorn (most of 2026), where the World’s Infrastructure will be Revised. 1 Aries is Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated.

March 2-19, 2023, Mercury (Awareness) will move through Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage), giving us a great Opportunity to Learn to Stop Mentalizing our Emotions. Emotions are best mined for Intuitions, but Studying the Sensations that Accompany them is a good Heuristic to help us Learn how to do that.

Till 3-4 March 20231 (27-28 February) Till 3-4 March 2023, Moon (Instincts) Out of Bounds (Magnified) North (Folks are more likely to Panic, especially in the Northern Hemisphere), from 5 Gemini through 8 Leo, likely Lighting Up your natal Planets in this Degree Zone. Moon OOB till PST 9:46 pm 3rd, GMT 5:46 am 4th, IST 11:16 am 4th, AEST 3:46 pm 4th. Till 3-4 March 2023, Icarus (Tendency to Overperform and Burn Out) Stationary (Strong) in 25 Pisces (Supreme Sensitivity to Collective Karma). When you find yourself tending to lap up too much Raw Meat from the Minia, Remind yourself that It’s Not Present Moment unless it’s happening within a few minutes and within a block or two of your house. By all means Feel it Deeply but Quickly, and then just as Quickly, Let It Go. If it Lights you Up, it’s a Mirror for your own Karma, but nobody bids Adieu to Karma by rolling in the Stories like a Dog in Roadkill. If there’s anything that’s Not Present Moment, ie, Not Real, it’s Stories. They have great Utility, but not for Letting Go of Karma, and if we Aspire to 5D we need to be Letting Go of Karma. They’ll be Back, but we Convert Flashbacks to Flushbacks by pushing the lever and Enjoying that Oh-So-Permanent Flushing Sound, if we’re Lucky enough to have Indoor Plumbing. Gratitude for that wouldn’t be Out of Order either. Station Exact PST 6:30 am 3rd, GMT 2:30 pm 3rd, IST 8:00 pm 3rd, AEST 12:30 am 4th. Till 3-4 March 2023, Saturn Waxing Unx Pluto (Opportunity to Cleanly Break Our Most Compulsive Habits, perhaps as Easily as by Earnest and Honest Intention) in 30 Aquarius (Channeling the Light into Earthly Grace with Total Presence and Total Detachment). The Initiation of this New Saturn-Pluto Cycle occurred 12 January 2020 in 23 Capricorn (Committed to Erasing Karma Ritually and Thoroughly), so we’ll want to Break any Habits that will Inhibit our Adopting this New Energy Fully. Thanks to our CAO for noticing this one! Angle Exact PST 2:21 pm 3rd, GMT 10:21 pm 3rd, IST 3:51 am 4th, AEST 8:21 am 4th.

3-4 March 2023 through 13-14 March, Moon In Bounds (Relatively greater Emotional Stability). Moon IB from PST 9:46 pm 3rd, GMT 5:46 am 4th, IST 11:16 am 4th, AEST 3:46 pm 4th in 8 Leo; Till PDT 7:32 am 13th, GMT 2:32 pm 13th, IST 9:02 pm 13th, AEST 12:32 am 14th in 5 Sagittarius.

6 March 2023, Ganesa (Remover of Obstacles) Out of Bounds (Stronger than Usual) moves into Cancer (Nurturance, Compassion) till 17 June 2023.

7 March 2023 7 March 2023, Sisyphus (Neverending Tasks) Out of Bounds (More Extreme than Usual) backs into Leo (Self-Appreciation) until 10 June 2023. Sisyphus Reminds us that the Journey is Far More Important than the Destination. 7 March 2023, Saturn (The Most Important Thing) moves into Pisces (Letting Go of Emotional Baggage) until February 2006, with a brief Test of Aries in May-August 2025. See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information. 7 March 2023, Full Moon in 17 Virgo (An Ornery Hermit Due to Excessive Sensitivity). See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information.

Till 9-10 March 2023, Asbolus (Intuition) Out of Bounds (Amplified) and Stationary (Strong) in 27 Gemini (Removing Our Masks). Intuition is a Skill, and the more we Practice it, the more we Learn to Listen to it. It’s always firing, but we usually Think it’s just a Thought or a shard of our Programming, and Ignore it. Not being Rude, it usually Speaks Quietly, so it’s Easy to Ignore. The next week is one of the best times of the year to Open to it. If you Listen Carefully, it’s likely to tell you what SuperPowers you’ll be Surviving on when we get to 5D (see next entry). Station Exact PDT 6:35 pm 9th, GMT 1:35 am 10th, IST 7:05 am 10th, AEST 11:35 am 10th.

11 March 2023, Juno (Growth in Consciousness) enters Taurus (Solidifying into Hard Copy) until 2 May 2023.

Till 11-12 March 2023 Till 11-12 March, Chaos (Our Unlimited Potential) Out of Bounds (Prominent) and Stationary (Strong) in 29 Gemini (Embrace of the Underwhere to Bring Light). This is who we Become after we Let Go of our Karma and Programming. You’ve been Daydreaming about it all your Life. Go ahead, Open up a few of those Doors. Station Exact PDT 7:35 am 11th, GMT 2:35 pm 11th, IST 8:05 pm 11th, AEST 12:35 am 12th. Till 11-12 March, Chiron (Despair and Miracles) Initiates Jupiter (Expansion) in 15 Aries (Freedom of Action but the Need to Be Present with Oneself). Chiron tends to be Discouraging or Depressing, till a Breakthrough occurs and Delightful Miracles Manifest. See the post https://astrobuss.wordpress.com/2023/03/08/you-poor-sweetheart-you-dont-feel-like-celebrating-do-you/ for more information.

12 March 2023, 2 am PST becomes 3am PDT. Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the Change.

13-14 March through 17-18 March 2023, Moon Out of Bounds over the Southern Hemisphere (I haven’t verified this, but based on the Northern version, I Imagine that denizens of the Southern Half of the Planet are more likely to Panic than usual). It’s not always so, but lately when the Moon is OOB S, it’s crossing early Sagittarius through early Aquarius, so watch for your natal Capricorn Plus planets to Light Up while Moon is OOB S (no matter which Hemisphere you’re in). Moon OOB from PDT 7:32 am 13th, GMT 2:32 pm 13th, IST 9:02 pm 13th, AEST 12:32 am 14th in 5 Sagittarius; Till PDT 7:22 pm 17th, GMT 2:22 am 18th, IST 7:52 am 18th, AEST 12:22 pm 18th in 8 Aquarius.

26-31 March 2023, Moon Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere (Folks are more likely to Panic, especially in the North). Lately when the Moon is OOB N it crosses early Gemini through early Leo, Lighting up your natal planets in that Zone. Moon OOB N from 26th PDT 12:46 am, BST 8:46 am, IST 1:16 pm, AEST 5:46 pm in 4 Gemini; Till 31st PDT 6:41 am, BST 2:41 pm, IST 7:11 pm, AEST 11:41 pm in 8 Leo.

26 March 2023, 2 am GMT becomes 3 am BST (British Summer Time; GMT is London’s Standard Time), instantaneously. If you have a meeting scheduled for 2:15 am and you make the meeting, you may get Lost to Linear Time and emerge in another Time or Galaxy, which may turn out to be fortunate. See https://www.amazon.com/Time-Bandits-John-Cleese/dp/B0B8TNVR4H/ref=sr_1_1 for more information.

March’s major Sturm und Drang occurs before the Ides. Here’s an outline of the program. We’re hoping that it will be warm enough for Popcorn to pop by the Ides…

¹ The Impact of astroEvents – Stations (which Strengthen the Influence of a planet), Angles between planets (which Merge their Energies in various ways), and Initiations (which Begin a New Cycle in the Merger of the Energies of two planets) – kicks in ahead of the time when they’re Exact (the times listed above) – usually a couple days for asteroids, and a week or so for other planets, sometimes more. This will vary a lot depending on what else is going on – the Bigger Events (Slower planets) can crowd out other Events, though if you look closely you’ll probably find the Influence of each. It also depends on whether the Eventful planet(s) are prominent in your natal chart, or the Event occurs within a few Degrees of one of your natal planets.

The primary advantage of Knowing about astroEvents, is that it enables us to Discriminate between astrological Energies and other Energies.

People also vary in how Sensitive they are to Energy in general. A friend once told me, “I’m always aware that This Too Shall Pass, but as an astrologer, you Know When it will Pass!” Knowing that an Energy is Temporary can Prevent us from making Decisions to Protect ourself from it. If we can’t Stand an Energy and don’t know that it’s “just” an astroEvent, we can make Decisions that become Karma if we Neglect to Let Them Go afterward. For instance, we might Blame our Resistance to the Energy of the Event on some Action we took earlier, and Declare “I’ll Never Do That Again!” Bingo! Instant Karma. We’ve just added another Limit to our catalog of Unconscious Limitations.

If we Know an astroEvent is happening, or happened, and we can Identify the Energy, we can Use it Purposively, or Just Let It Go. In that case, the Energy Fades Quickly after it’s Exact. If we don’t know it’s happening and we Act to Protect our Resistance to It, it can continue in our Life indefinitely, Creating most of the Difficulties we Experience with Life. Unwinding our Karma, to find our True Self and Allow Ascension, is just the process of Identifying and Letting Go Of our Unconscious Limitations. Our Programming is probably the best Clue to Identifying our Unconscious Limitations, as we would never have Allowed the Programming if it weren’t Karmic for us.

If you’re in the habit of not reading the purple because it’s too technical, you might gain from reading the previous paragraphs.

This Crystal was used by the twelve Apophylls to Practice their Intuition, which is why it’s called Apophyllite. You can see the Crystal on the left whispering bright Multidimensional Truth into the second Crystal’s Ear, and the Dubious look on the second Crystal’s Face as he rejects the Intuition because it would Betray his Programming. Truth always Shines.

Apophyllite is actually a Mica (note the …phyll… in the name), a “Phyllosilicate,” meaning that the Silicate units arrange themselves in Sheets, with tight bonds across the Sheet, and loose bonds between them, causing Micas to cleave into their signature flat Sheets or Chips. Most Crystals form in Clusters, but a Cluster of Mica Crystals is called a Book, because when the Sheets are stacked, that’s what they look like. As molten Stone cools and solidifies, the Minerals in the Soup Solidify at different rates. The most autophilic Crystallize first, often leaving Cavities between them filled with less autophilic Minerals. The rest of the Soup Solidifies on its own timetable, either filling the Cavity with a “Massive” form of the Mineral, or not filling it and leaving the characteristic Crystal shapes we Recognize.

Apophyllite has stronger bonding between Sheets than more Mica-Morphic Phyllosilicates, allowing it to form three-dimensional Crystals, which may break between Sheets. The Cations (positive ions of the Crystal Unit) are Potassium and Calcium. The Silicate Anion (negative ion of the Crystal Unit) is usually suffixed with Fluoride, but sometimes with Hydroxide (OH). Apophyllite also contains Water embedded into its Crystal Structure. Most Apophyllite is White or Clear or Milky. The green hue in this one is probably produced by a few Copper cations thrown in.

Big Doin’s V

We’ve made it through the nearly simultaneous 18-19 September 2022 Stations of Quaoar, Pholus, and Altjira, and the return of asteroid Artesian In-Bounds.¹ While we’ve referred to the Pholus-Quaoar Cycle (Ability and Willingness to Respond Fully to Our Survival Instincts) as Global Warming et al, the biggest event that occurred at the Cycle’s Initiation in late February was Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine, so we Expect news about that to be prominent, to the extent that anything can peek out beneath the Velvet Pomp and Gossip hissing out of the British Empire’s long-deflating Balloon. The news that I read today was about how Russia was running out of cannon fodder, and missiles were hitting military bases inside Russia and near the border with Ukraine. We broaden the scope of Climate Change et al to include the Demise of the Patriarchy, which both the Russian Invasion and the Death of Queen Elizabeth II symbolize and accelerate.²

The Moon remains Out of Bounds over the Northern Hemisphere (Hupersons are more likely to Panic – Critters may be as well ) until 3:40 am PDT (11:40 am BST, 8:40 pm AEST) 21 September. The US Federal Reserve meets on Wednesday, and will raise Interest Rates again, so the uptick that frequently occurs in the US Stock Market at Moon-Returning-from-OOBN will be overridden, one way or the other or both, by Reactions to the financial news.

While the Impacts of Quaoar, Pholus, and Altjira (The Primordial Field that Allows Life to Exist ) have Lightened a bit, we’re still in the Thick Of It, as asteroids Lachesis (Unexpired Karma that Can Be Consciously Let Go Of ), Arachne (The Web of Life), and Pan (The Overlighting Deva of Nature) all Stand Still 21-22 September.³ In other words, the Big Conference in the Meadow in the Forest, between Huperity’s Ability and Willingness to Respond Fully to Its Survival Instincts (Pholus-Quaoar), The Primordial Field that Allows Life to Exist (Altjira), Unexpired Karma that Can Be Consciously Let Go Of (Lachesis), The Web of Life (Arachne), and The Overlighting Deva of Nature (Pan) is still going Strong.

Their Suggestion Box is still Open if we would like to PIAVA our Intentions into it. Peace and Collaboration on Earth might be a nice Intention. Whatever Directives result from their Global Conclave about the Future of Life on Earth, it will be up to us to Intuit them and PIAVA them into our Lives, abetted by the 29 September Station of Asbolus (Intuition), a New Moon that Lights Up much of what we’ve been talking about, and three intervening Sign Changes.⁴

Tomorrow 20 September begins the 2nd Pulse of the Ascension Portal scheduled in the Mayan Calendar according to Aluna Joy Yax’kin‘s Channelings from the Star Elders (see the Big Doin’s IV post). This 4-day Pulse will bring Energy from the Great Central Sun down into our Throat Chakra (Communication), and from our Great Mother Earth up into our Solar Plexus Chakra (Action). Aluna Joy says that in this 2nd Pulse “We will begin to let go, like a death of the past, and align with pure healing creation, activating and transducing wisdom into a usable form. We exit the mental world, and we enter the world of spirit.”

¹ Dwarf planet Quaoar (Survival Instincts) Stationary (Strong) 6:35 am PDT (1:35 pm BST, 11:35 AEST) 18 September 2022, in 6 Capricorn (Timelessness, with or without Ego). Dwarf planet Pholus (Full Responsiveness) Stationary 7:04 am PDT 19 September (2:04 pm BST 19 September, 12:04 am AEST 20 September), in 5 Capricorn (Full Consciousness of Past Deaths, Potentially Bridging Worlds).

The Impact of a Station can usually be Felt at least a week prior to the actual event, increases up till it’s Exact, then tapers off quickly, when we’re Conscious of the Impact. Our own Actions and other astroevents can Influence this Pattern. Here, there is so much going on within a few days, that we have to consider it One Big Portal, Combining All of the Energies Present. This is particularly True here because so many of the Energies are really the same Energy, just Reinterpreted through the Metaphors of different Herstorical Cultures. Hence the Meetup in the Grove.

Dwarf planet Altjira (The Primordial Field that Allows Life to Exist ) Stationary 11:20 pm PDT 18 September (6:20 am BST, 4:20 pm AEST, both 19 September), in 19 Gemini (Embracing the Unknown), which is adjacent Orion’s Star Rigel (Teaching Perfect Attunement to the New Energies).

Asteroid Artesian (Making Manifestation Easier) returns In-Bounds (Declining Strength of Impact ) 8:34 pm PDT 18 September (3:34 am BST, 1:34 pm AEST, both 19 September) in 8 Leo (A Charmed Life, on the Edge between Pride and Modesty, with Need for Vigilance against the Negative Envy of Others).

² The Patriachy, with its Rigid Hierarchical Rules, Shaming Everything except the Left-Brain’s Ungrounded Childish Logic, Destroying Nature without Thought or Concern, and Prioritizing Profit Über Alles, is precisely the Cause of Global Warming et al and all of its Apocalyptic End-Times Correlates. While its Demise looks like its Heyday, the Sturm und Drang is really all just its Death Throes.

³ Asteroid Lachesis (Unexpired Karma that Can Be Consciously Let Go Of ) Stationary 5:43 am PDT 21 September (12:43 pm BST, 10:43 pm AEST), in 3 Aquarius (Union with the Gods and Saints, Baffling to the Ego, Leading to Infinite Possibilities).

Asteroid Arachne (The Web of Life) Stationary 12:16 am PDT (7:16 am BST, 5:16 pm AEST) 21 September, in 8 Aquarius (Focused on Knowing the Self but Thwarted by the Mind’s Insistence on Structure, Form, and Sequence, till Realizing that This Defines a Snapshot rather than a Reality).

Asteroid Pan (The Overlighting Deva of Nature) Stationary 6pm PDT 21 September (1am BST, 11am AEST, both 22 November), in 12 Gemini (Great Charisma and the Danger of Ego-Attachment ).

⁴ New Moon 2:55 pm PDT 25 September (9:55 pm BST 25th, 7:55 am AEST 26th) in 3 Libra (), Conjunct Hopi OOB (Amplified Respect for All Things) in 1 Libra (Wearing and Wearing Out Old Patterns so a New World Can Burst from the Inside Out ).

Dwarf planet Asbolus (Intuition) Stationary 8:21 pm PDT 29 September (3:21 am BST and 1:21 pm AEST, both 30 September), in 1 Cancer (Surrender to Spirit ), adjacent to the other Orion Star Betelgeuse (Achievement that Shows Us the Hollowness of Being Outer-Directed ) and Opposite to (Lighting Up) the 12-13 September Icarus-Ixion Stations.

Sun enters Libra (Northern Autumn, Southern Spring) 6:03 pm PDT (1:03 pm BST, 11:03 pm AEST) 22 September. Mercury (Awareness) backs into Virgo (Ego Death) 5:04 am PDT (12:04 pm BST, 10:04 pm AEST) 23 September. Asteroid Hopi (Respect for All Things) Out of Bounds (Amplified ) enters Libra (Meeting Other) 11:03 am PDT 25 September (6:03 pm BST 25th, 4:03 am AEST 26th). Dwarf planet Ceres (Sustainability) enters Virgo (Ego Death) 8:55 am PDT 29 September (3:55 pm BST 29th, 1:55 am AEST 30th).

Equality FULL Moon

Sides…

• You’d think by now I can tell NEW Moons from FULL Moons. I think it’s about Attention! And if it’s an Intuition, as Errors often are, what does it Indicate? I just started thinking of a Full Moon as an Initiation of a process that would Culminate at the Third-Quarter Moon. Hmmm. I Wonder.
• The Moon is In Bounds till 3:13 am PDT (11:13 am BST in England and 8:13 pm AEST in Eastern Oz) 16 September 2022 in 8 Gemini, when it moves Out of Bounds (Hupersons tend to be more Excitable) over the Northern Hemisphere, till 3:40 am PST 21 September.
• Have we mentioned that asteroid Lachesis (Unexpired Karma that We Can Consciously Let Go Of ) returned In Bounds on 8 September? That may make it a little harder to Let Go of Active Karma, but Persistence is Recommended, because All Karma is Vulnerable since it Died with Linear Time in 2012. We hold on to our Karma because it’s so Familiar and Comfortable, even when it’s untoward. We hold on to Linear Time because the rest of the World still Lives in the Yangtegrity Patriarchy. We hope you’re continuing to Minimize your Commitments, Renegotiate When you Can, and Make Amends When Renegotiation Is Not Possible and the Relationship Is Worth Keeping, as we Recommend as a crutch for our Yintegrity till we can hang out There All Day.
• Of course, without Linear Time astrology is up a certain creek without the appropriate Tool to move on, but it still seems to be Useful, right?
• Speaking of Karma, Out of Bounds asteroid Karma moves into Sagittarius (The Way Out Is Letting Go) “for good” (till it moves on into Capricorn) at 1am PDT (9am BST, 6pm AEST) on the Ides of September. Except for dipping a toe into Sadge in March and April, it’s been Dancing in Scorpio (The Way Out is Through, often Excruciatingly) since last December. It won’t return In Bounds (Less Intensity), though, till next March. It will be Rubbing Our Faces in our Emotional Baggage from July to October next year, though, as it Retrogrades in Pisces (Clearing Expired Emotions).
• Out of Bounds Dwarf planet Asbolus (Enhanced Intuition) moves into Cancer 11pm PDT 15 September (7am BST, 4pm AEST, both 16 September), which should make us a bit less Judgmental.
• Asteroid Tantalus moves into Leo today (11 September 2022) at 6pm PDT (2am BST, 11am AEST, both tomorrow). The SuperPower of Tantalus is to Teach us to Relish Desire more than we Appreciate its Consummation. Small wonder it shares a root with Tantric. Here’s an excellent example of the Challenge or Victim, or Shadow, side of this Dimension…

Entree…

The 3am PDT (11am BST, 8pm AEST) 10 September 2022 Full Moon was in 18 Pisces. While they’re quite busy during the event, we Expect the New and Full Moons to see their primary Impact over the following several weeks, including an Energy Peak approximately a week after the event. In this case that’ll be the neighborhood of 3pm PDT 17 September (11pm BST, 8am AEST 18 September), at the Third Quarter Moon (the Waning Sun-Moon Square). The Energy Peak should mirror what we’re writing about below, perhaps with its own Embellishments.

However, by 17 September we’ll be deep into Climage Change et al (Stations of Quaoar and Pholus 18-19 September). Remember what the et al stands for? We had a list once, but I can never find it. I know it included all of the Main Effects that are Rapidly Changing these days – Gender Balance and Inclusion, Rejection of War as Barbaric, Racial Equality, Consciousness about Pollution, Death Throes of the Patriarchy, and of course all the accouterments of the End Times – Pestilence, Famine, War, Locusts, all the Fun things we associate with the Apocalypse. It’s important to Remember, though, that Karma Is Expectation. When we see certain Happenings, we Expect certain ills to follow. When we Change our Expectations, we Change our Karma.

Interesting that so many Voices are Recalling the Abuses of Colonialism. Just one example – a Carnegie Mellon Professor of Language put it thus, “If anyone expects me to express anything but disdain for the monarch who supervised a government that sponsored the genocide that massacred and displaced half my family and the consequences of which those alive today are still trying to overcome, you can keep wishing upon a star,” referring to her Experience in Nigeria.

The Full Moon Conjoins dwarf planet Nessus (Abuse and Privilege). If Abuse and Privilege are the end points of a Dimension, what would we call the Dimension? How about Equality. The Full Moon has two not-really-Self-Resolving, but Much-Enhanced Challenges or SuperPowers,¹ depending on our Approach to them. One of them Suggests that our best Defense against Abuse is Self-Love.² The other is about Making a Safe Home in Our Body for Our Soul by Attending to our Self-Sovereignty.³

So, if a Full Moon is an Initiation of a Process that becomes Evident at the Third-Quarter Moon, what might we Predict for 17 September? Maybe some major News about Sovereignty? Or about Respect for Nature? Dwarf planet Altjira T-Squared the Full-Moon Axis at the Full Moon, and Altjira is Stationary on 18 September, peaking at 11:20 pm PDT in 19 Gemini.

Dessert…

¹ T-Squares without Coincident Fingers of the Goddess, but with Coincident Grand Trines.

² Dwarf planet Altjira (The Diva of Life itself ) T-Squares the Full Moon Axis, with Narcissus (Self-Love) and Saturn (The Most Important Thing) on the other corners of the Altjira Grand Trine.

³ Uranus Conjunct North Node (Soul Merged with Life Mission) in Taurus T-Squares Saturn (The Most Important Thing) in Aquarius Opposite (Debating With) asteroid Lilith (Self-Sovereignty) and Hybris (Hubris) in Leo. The Coincident Grand Trine connects Uranus-North Node with dwarf planet Hylonome (Codependence) in Capricorn and the Sun (Our Essence) in Virgo.

Are we still Chopping Water and Carrying Wood?

“This is a time of great upheaval for the earth and those of the earth. You are feeling that earth turmoil at the same time you are clearing issues that no longer pertain to new you. A combination of unpleasant sensations that are a small indication of your Universal strength.

“Many of you question the concept that you are a god. But because of your actions over the past few months, you are beginning to understand the phrase you learned as a child that God/the Universes ‘knows every hair on your head.’ For you are sensing the pain and fear of others you have not met and never will. Sensitivities beyond what is expected of a 3D human.

“Your responsibilities no longer include sensing everyone and everything. Even though those feelings are a natural skill, that skill is not productive in your new world.

“You are not negating humanity or other earth beings. Instead, you are allowing yourself to focus on you. Your new Rubicon crossing is from caring for everyone and everything to acknowledging your needs. A concept that was touted as selfish in 3D but is a necessary element in your new world…

“In addition to negating the caretaking of those in your 3D circle of friends and relatives, you are now doing so globally. Letting go globally has been extremely difficult for you. Your recent exhaustion and/or bouts of rage indicate how complicated this phase has been.

“You trained for eons to help earth through this transition. And as you did so, you enhanced your caretaking skills beyond what would be expected of a 3D earth being. Not only did you care for family and friends, you felt the weight of the earth and its inhabitants.

” ‘Love thy neighbor’ – especially those who looked and acted like you. ‘Love and caretake your family’ – no matter what your home experiences were. Encouraging you to acknowledge internally that everyone, including the earth, was more important than you.

“Earlier in this transition, you discovered the need to allow family and friends to find their way. You are now doing something similar globally – causing your feelings of being a bad or selfish person to once again surface.

“If someone told you that you were responsible for the well-being and feelings of all earth’s inhabitants, you would ignore them. Yet, you have been enmeshed in that seemingly unattainable concept since your earth’s entrance in this lifetime…

“You are slowly realizing you cannot – and no longer want – to control everyone and everything. You are tired. You are ready to retire from parenting the earth and everyone and everything of the earth. This new earth and new you are topsy-turvy from every other earth life you experienced.

“Caretaking, with ensuing power grabs, was key to a successful 3D earth life. To shift the earth beyond 3D, you needed to play your god role of knowing what was best for the earth. Then you needed to morph again into not caretaking the earth or its inhabitants.

“You initiated that last phase by letting go of family and friends who refused to caretake themselves, and then, doing the same with the earth – a phase you are just ending. Allowing yourself to shine as a self-contained entity, knowing others are more powerful than they believe and that the earth has proved to be the same.

“It is time for you to see and sense the sun. Those following you have accepted their heavy-lifting roles. Yours are over. Relax. Play. Laugh. You have completed your challenging pieces. It is time to be a role model of contentment. No longer do you need to experience sleepless nights worrying that your family member or the earth is incapable of self-care. You are done. You have completed those roles.

“It is time for your new personal role. A role you have not accepted in any previous earth life – but one you experienced in thousands of other frequencies and dimensions. Enjoy. Play. Laugh. Your caretaking roles are over.”

• ¹ 26-27 July 2022, Uranus (Soul ) in 19 Taurus (Giving Up Self-Image) Initiating (Beginning a New Cycle with) the Moon’s North Node (Lifetime Mission) while the Moon’s South Node (Held Emotions) in 19 Scorpio (Driven by Spirit but Plagued by Doubt ) Merges with (Conjoins) asteroid Karma (Karma) Out of Bounds (Exaggerated ) in 20 Scorpio (Dedicated to the Path but Challenged by Spiritual Pride till Spiritual Guidance Reigns). 19 Taurus (South Node) is home to (Merged With) the Fixed Star Zuben Eschamali (Social Reform with Corruption or Need for Status by the Reformers).
• As long as Light-Workers have 2D or 3D Expectations for What 5D Planetary Evolution should Look Like, the Evolution will in their Obstructed view be Corrupted. The Uranus-Karma Nodal Axis is Squared (Annoyed – it’s a Grand Cross, in Earth Signs) by the Opposition (Debate) between asteroid Arachne (Grandmother Spider Who Weaves the Web of Life) in 17 Aquarius (Maintaining Tradition) and Mercury (Awareness) in 15 Leo (Individuation). 15 Leo (Mercury) is adjacent to (Entangled with) the Fixed Star Accubens (Resurrection).
• The Uranus-North Node Merger chart makes a Grand Unx – 12 planets more or less equally spaced around the Zodiac, or three Grand Crosses and four Grand Trines. An Unx is one twelfth of something; the Twelfth Harmonic is about Pattern-Breaking. A Grand Unx is Self-Resolving, meaning we need to sit back and Observe, and not try to Intervene, because the astroevents are occurring at a Higher Vibration than our Intervention would be, and we’d just Screw it Up.
• Mars (Action) in 15 Taurus (Iterative Surrender) Conjoins Uranus and North Node, causing many astrologers to worry about Violence and Disruption. Yes, the Lower Vibration of Mars can be Violent; it you Encounter that, Raise your Vibration (try Kegels for starters). And yes, Uranus is Disruptive, but it only Disrupts that which the Soul no long has use for, so it’s Good Riddance. Thank it for its Service while it was Useful, and wish it Goddess-Speed. 15 Taurus is home to the Fixed Star Menkar (Eruption), which may increase the odds of Violent Cleansings.
• ² Till 3 August asteroid Nemesis (Guilt ) is Stationary (Exaggerated ) in 1 Aries (Single-Minded, Hard-Working, Opinionated ). The Exaggeration comes with two Big Challenges (T-Squares), first to Nemesis itself from Very Heavy Challengers – OOB Ixion (Forbidden Genius Amplified ), OOB Chaos (Exaggerated Superpowers), OOB Asbolus (Exemplary Intuition), Hybris (Pride, Hubris), and second, to our Transmutational Rebirth (Haumea Conjunct Ka epaoka awela) from Not-Insignificant quarters – Pluto (Compulsion), Cyllarus (Death), Kassandra (Disbelief ). But both are Doubly Self-Resolving, so No Worries if we Stay Out of Their Way. We’ll Flesh these Out in a later post.

Ego Edges

We’re still trying to satisfy two Goals with one Blog – describing what’s going on on the Planet while gradually teaching astrology, since anything you Learn about astrology will greatly deepen your Experience of Life on Earth and your Adeptness with it. In this post, read through it first while Suspending Disbelief and ignoring the footnotes. Then go back and reread the whole post, exploring the footnotes as you go. Even if you have no interest in Learning anything about astrology, there is much to gain by simply skimming the footnotes to see if anything catches your eye. Skimming may not get us a PhD, but when we’ve skimmed the same or similar material many times, a lot more has sunk in than we Realize.

💥

One of the greatest Toxins that we Encounter is Certainty. My training as a Psychic was rudimentary. I had fabulous Teachers, I just didn’t pursue it very far because there were too many other Threads going on at the time, but one of the first things I learned was that an easy way to access our Intuition is to Ask ourself, What If I Did Know?

It’s a great technique, and it almost always serves us, but without additional Discernment Skills, it serves our Heart’s Truth, not necessarily the Etheric Truth, and not necessarily Someone Else’s Heart’s Truth. Our Heart’s Truth is a Reliable Guide for Avoiding Self-Sabotage, but it doesn’t Clear our Limitations. Of course, for most everyone reading this, your Heart’s Truth will include a Life Mission of Clearing your Limitations, but that can’t help but compete with other, more trivial matters, such as Survival, or Getting Bald and High…

We’ve just been through a couple of weeks of Fear and Anger,¹ and we’re already diving into another week that isn’t per se about Fear and Anger, but is by its nature heavily encumbered with Fear and Anger.² We’ll talk more about this Forbidden Genius of ours soon, but I want to introduce Them through a prominent (though subtle) feature of the 22 August Full Moon…³

¹ The 30 August 2021 Station of Sedna [Converting Fear to Power] in 30 Taurus, stretched out by the 30 August-3 September Out-of-Bounds Moon [Excess Emotionality Covered by Deep and Wide Culturally-Supported Justification, AKA Focusing on our Thoughts about our Emotions rather than on how and where we Feel the Emotions in our Body]. Can we tell the Difference between our Emotions and our Thoughts about them?

Our Thoughts about our Emotions are Mental Gibberish serving only to prop up our Old Ego, Prevent Rebirth, and Maintain our Karmic Limitations. Emotion Itself on the other hand, is the Portal to our Sacred Intuition, to our Future, and potentially to our Liberation from Karmic Limitation (if we have the Fortitude to tackle our Thoughts about the Emotions that We’d Rather Die Than Feel ).

If we can Learn this Discernment^1a in this Lifetime, it will be the Pinnacle of Cosmic Success that will Change our Karma forever. Our fellow Gronabixoleans won’t recognize us when we return to our Home Galaxy. Discerning our Emotions (Pisces) from our Thoughts about them (Aquarius) is the Central Lesson of the Pisces-Aquarius Cusp, and if we don’t Learn it here we could be Stuck in Piscean Victimhood for possibly another 25 thousand years, till the next Progressed Pisces-Aquarius Cusp rolls around. Won’t that be Fun. Thank the Goddess that Linear Time is an Illusion.

^1a We also have to Learn that Emotions aren’t Ours or Theirs, any more than the Weather is. Emotions are Independent Energies that Visit us, and can Attach to our Egos like Leeches and Suck Away our Life Force. But they also Serve us as a Portal to our Sacred Intuition. We Feel and Dismiss them in a flash, till we get Stuck on Our Thoughts about Them. If we make Decisions based on our Thoughts about Them, we Create sticky new Karma that can follow us around the Multiverse like a hungry Coyote, just Out of Sight. But we know they’re There, don’t we.

² The 12 September (5:07 am PDT) Station of Ixion [Our Forbidden Genius] in 30 Sagittarius, the same Degree (in different Signs) as the Sedna Station and the Full Moon. When planets are in the same or nearby Degrees, the Interactions between their Domains of Impact are much more Intense. The Full Moon, the Sedna Station, and the Ixion Station span three weeks, but the Unconscious doesn’t Live in Linear Time. There in the Universe beyond the Bounds of our Ego (which Universe, if you haven’t noticed, is usually very much Larger than we are), everything is Simultaneous. Natives of North America (nee Turtle Island) Believe that everything that ever happened in a place is still going on there. If you bother to Look for it, you can Feel it.

³ In 30 Aquarius. The New and Full Moons primarily impact the 2-4 weeks following them. Find the complete chart for the 22 August Full Moon in the Expanding into Fear II post.

…namely, we have a Challenge between a double symbol of Rebirth and a double symbol of Death.⁴ This is not a Duel, but a more nuanced Conflict with many combatants and collaborators and involved spectators who have Skin in the Game.⁵ Our Self-Confidence is deeply Involved,⁶ as is The Integration of Feminine Power into our Life.⁷

⁴ Asteroid Klotho [Beginning New Fateful Adventures] Conjunct [Merged With] dwarf planet Haumea [Rebirth in an Unformed Molten State] on the Birth side, Square to [Challenged by – drawn as the shorter red line] two Strangers we’ve added to fill Vacancies, asteroid Requiem [Respect for Death] Merged With dwarf planet Cyllarus [Death in Combat] on the Death side. Centaur Cyllarus was Killed in the battle that Wounded Chiron.

⁵ The Square is part of a Grand Cross [Difficult and Complex Process involving many Related Issues – four planets equally spaced ’round the Zodiac, shown by the red square with a cross in the middle].

⁶ The other two corners of the Grand Cross are dwarf planet Chariklo [Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt ] – Chiron’s wife, and…

⁷ Two Fixed Stars, Al Rescha [Bringing two disparate Concept Sets together to Create Deeper Understanding] and Mirach [Harmony, Receptivity, Intuition, Magnetism, Collaboration].

Remember our first sentence? When we’re in a Life-and-Death Struggle, Certainty is the Order of the Day. We’re Certain that the Oxymoronavirus will kill us if we Let It. Or Wait! No, the Vaccine will Certainly Kill us! Meanwhile, Global Warming is Killing us, drowning some of us while we sleep. The Emperor has no Clouds. What is it that the Howlers Fear Most? Loss of Freedom, all seem to say.

Freedom to continue Life As It Was Known. Freedom to Blame the Threat to Survival on Viruses, Vaccines, Abortions, Masks, Political Opponents, anything which will Focus Attention on those Thoughts about the Fear that Life will Change drastically, because if the Caterwauling is loud enough, Influencing the Outcome of those Issues may be Possible. Won’t it be a shock when it’s discovered that Stopping Abortions and Vaccines and Viruses and Political Opponents doesn’t Stop Floods and Wildfires and Freezeouts. Won’t it be a shock when parents who risked their Children’s Lives sending them back to School discover that the Schooling that the Surviving kids received is worthless because it was only Relevant to Destroying the Earth.

In any four-cornered astrological Configuration, the Diagonals between the corners provide useful information. In this Death-Rebirth Configuration the Diagonals are Oppositions, usually signifying that two Concepts are Arguing, or if we aren’t in Resistance, that they’re willing to Cooperate.

The Rebirth corner Dances with the Integration of Feminine Power corner.⁸ If we’re indeed on the Cusp of Letting the Patriarchy Burn Itself Out, this will be a Delightful Dance. If we’re Terrified that our Investments in the Patriarchy are Bankrupt, then we’re likely to be Screaming into our Zoom Meetings that it’s Imperative to Bring Back Business-As-Usual, because that’s More Important (to them) than how many people are Dying.

The Death corner Dances with Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt.⁹ If we’re Confident we’re on our Path, then we’ll Embrace the Ego Death. If we’re in Self-Doubt, our Fear of Death will probably be Lit Up, and we might even be contemplating Physical Death.

But it’s not that simple. If we look closely we can see that both of these Oppositions are Mystery Schools.¹⁰ In a Mystery School we Learn something completely Surprising and Unexpected from the Dance, something that’s not accessible to the two-dimensional mind. If we’re Open to it, that is, and if we Avoid trying to “Figure It Out.” The Insights available are not accessible by the Mind, as they’re more multidimensional that the Mind is able to Grok. We have to be Mindful of the Presence of Thinking, Thank it and Bless It, and Open our Intuition instead.

There is something Profound to Learn, available to us over the coming week, about the Relationship between (Ego) Death and Confidence or Doubt, and something Profound for us to Learn about the Relationship between our Rebirth and our Integration of Feminine Power. Astrology does give hints about where to look for these Insights.¹¹ Death and Confidence-Doubt are somehow tied up in this Adventure with Being More Open to Embracing our Hidden Genius and Acknowledging How We Were Punished For It in our Youth. Rebirth and Feminine Power are somehow bound up in this Workshop with Acknowledging our Guilt and Tapping It Out.

⁸ Klotho-Haumea Opposite Mirach-Al Rescha.

⁹ Requiem-Cyllarus Opposite Chariklo.

¹⁰ These Oppositions are both Yin Gates. The Klotho-Haumea to Mirach-Al Rescha Opposition is surrounded by a big blue “Golden” Rectangle, Golden because the ratio between the length of the sides and the length of the ends is the “Golden Angle” of Sacred Geometry fame, an Angle that is Replete in Nature. Its corners are Karma, Nemesis [Guilt], the Fixed Star Scheat [Creative Freedom from Conventional Thinking], and Sedna.

The Chariklo to Requiem-Cyllarus Opposition is also enclosed in a Golden Rectangle, but it’s drawn in thinner blue lines. It connects Ixion et al, Moon-Jupiter [Expanding our Instincts], Chaos-Asbolus [Intuitive Insight into our Unlimited Potential], and Sun-Thereus [The Places in our Essence where we’re Willing to Wrestle with Bears].

¹¹ In the six diagonals embedded in each of the bisected Golden Rectangles…

For Rebirth-Feminine Power they’re the Karma-Scheat and Nemesis-Sedna Oppositions, Klotho-Haumea’s Quincunxes to Scheat and to Sedna, and Mirach-Al Rescha’s Quincunxes to Nemesis and Karma. Quincunxes are 5-Sign Angles, drawn in green lines.

For Death-Confidence they’re Chaos-Asbolus’s Opposition to Ixion-Pholus-GC, the Sun-Thereus Opposition to Moon-Jupiter, Chariklo’s Quincunxes to Chaos-Asbolus and Sun-Thereus, and Requiem-Cyllarus’s Quincunxes to Jupiter-Moon and Ixion-Pholus-GC.

These many Relationships are for Meditation, not Analysis – that’s 12 Meditations. If you’re up for that, more Power to you! Remember that Quincunxes represent Questions, not Answers or Statements. And Remember that in a Yin Gate, Oppositions will not be Arguments or Collaborations, but Paradoxes, like Zen Koans. What’s the Sound of One Bear Wrestling while Expanding? might be an example (Thereus Opposite Jupiter). The Insights in these Gordian Knots will be Personal, not Global. If you have any natal planets on Cusps, the Rewards from this Exploration may be Immense.

Expanding into Fear II

In the 30 August 2021 Sedna Station (Emphasis on Converting Fear to Power) chart…

…we’ve adhered closely to our usual 3-Degree Sensitivity…

That’s “Orb” in astrologuese. Like most astrologers, we consider “Transiting” Angles to be Live if they’re within three Degrees of Exact; for instance, dwarf planet Cyllarus is 1 Degree and 47 Arcminutes (31:02 less 29:16 equals 1:47) from an exact Sextile to Sedna – that’s within 3 Degrees. The Sextile Angle (short blue line) connects two planets that are 2 Signs apart. “Transiting” means “in the sky now,” as opposed to “Natal,” meaning in a Birth Chart. The average Natal Sensitivity commonly used is around 8 Degrees (varying depending on the Angle – more for a Conjunction, less for an Unx). We’ll introduce Cyllarus a bit later.

On the other hand, we’ve expanded our Sensitivity a tad to 3½ Degrees in the 22 August Full Moon chart (if we round up the Degrees, as is customary in astrology, from 29:37 to 30 [=0] for the Moon, from 2:56 to 3 for Pholus, and from 26:10 to 27 for Karma, it still looks like 3 Degrees of Sensitivity – we often do this rounding up)…

We’ve omitted Jupiter (Expansion) in the Sedna station chart, but it was only 3:24 away from a Square (Challenge) to the Sedna Station. And, the 22 August Full Moon was Conjunct Jupiter, which is to say, About Expansion, so you can see why we speak of “Expanding” into Fear. A Full Moon chart applies mostly to the two weeks following the event, while a Station chart applies mostly to the week or so prior to the event, though as we said in the previous post, we expect the Sedna Station chart to influence the week after the event because of the Out of Bounds Moon.

We’ve also added several extracurricular Stars and ‘Roids to the Full Moon chart, in order to fill in some obvious Vacancies. We’ll get to that later. First, let’s look at the Sedna Station chart…

The meat of the Sedna Station chart is the Major Challenge (T-Square, the red triangle) to Becoming Aware of our Karma (Mercury/Awareness Conjunct/Merged With asteroid Karma/Karma). Becoming Aware of our Karma often involves an Ego Death, which are seldom pleasant, unless we Focus on The meat of the Sedna Station chart is the Major Challenge (T-Square, the red triangle) to Becoming Aware of our Karma (Mercury [Awareness] Conjunct [Merged With] asteroid Karma [Karma]). Becoming Aware of our Karma often involves an Ego Death, which are seldom pleasant, unless we Focus on How Wonderful Life Will Be After We Ditch Those Bummers! (Hint Hint). But the vegetables are in the Heavy Heavy base of the T-Square, which is where the Real Action often lies in a T-Square.

On one side of this Opposition (Dualistic Argument aka Politics) are Orders from Headquarters (the Galactic Center), Our Hidden and Often Forbidden Genius (dwarf planet Ixion), and That Which Will Blindside Us If We Continue to Ignore It (dwarf planet Pholus). Like Kabul and Nahlins and Waverly and the California Conflagrations, the Message from Galactic Headquarters is We’re Done Messing Around, It’s Time To Get your Creative Butt in Gear and Get This Fixed! Did Recycling save the Roman Empire from decline? Nothing on our Catastrophic Trajectory will Change until Hupers regard the Planet as a Partner rather than a Resource, regard Excess Profit as the Crime of Grand Theft that it is, and regard Social Norms as the Foundation of the Status Quo that is the Cause of the Problem. And that’s Exactly what our Forbidden Genii came here to Fix. Not far from Pholus are our Survival Instincts (dwarf planet Quaoar).

On the Other Side of this Political Duality are Our Intuition (dwarf planet Asbolus) and Our Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos). How many of us Cherish our Intuition and Practice Trusting it constantly? How many of us are Exhilarated by Unlimited Potential, and how many of us Terrified by it? On the GC-Ixion-Pholus side of the Political Divide are the Guts to tackle the Elephant in the Room, and on this Asbolus-Chaos side are all of our Yes-Buts. Yes-But it’s Scary – we could Lose our Mod Cons! We’ll Lose a lot more than that if we don’t Change the Trajectory.

Fortunately, we don’t have to do this Alone. We have Allies. There is a Truss Bridge across the Divide (the blue lines connecting GC-Ixion-Pholus, Klotho-Haumea, Eurydike-Thereus, and Asbolus-Chaos). We can Trust (Eurydike) our Ability to wrestle Bears (Thereus). And we can Trust our Recent Double Rebirth…

A Significant New Life Chapter Began (asteroid Klotho enters Scorpio) at 4:16 am PDT 26 August. Scorpio doesn’t mess around. It’s Fearlessly dedicated to Getting to the Bottom of Things. What Things? Since it’s on the cusp, it’s the same chart as the 22 August Full Moon. In that chart, it’s blocking for dwarf planet Haumea, another Strong Rebirth Signal. Pele’s daughter Haumea doesn’t make it to Scorpio, though, turning Backwards in January 2022 two arc-seconds shy of the Cusp of Scorpio. Its dallying delays Haumea’s flow of hot lava into Scorpio till mid-November 2022. Klotho has already crossed Haumea, though, Beginning a New Cycle on 14 August, a few minutes past 12 am PDT, in 28 Libra, “A person becoming aware of spiritual forces surrounding and assisting them.” The four-year Klotho-Haumea Cycle is about Rebirth upon Rebirth. We’re just getting started.

The other Powerful Allies are in the Dumb-Luck Blessings (Grand Trine) that also Touches the Mercury-Karma node. The Allies here are Fearlessness (the Sedna Station itself) and Confidence (dwarf planet Chariklo). If Doubt comes up, Let It Go immediately. You know we’re right about this. Business as Usual is rapidly making this whole Planet look like a Martian Desert. By the time Musk and Bezos get there, Mars will look Lush by comparison to Earth. That’s why Gaia threw a well-deserved fifth wave of the Moronavirus at us.

Finally, dwarf planet Cyllarus demands our Attention as it makes the Grand Trine into a Kite, with itself at the Top. Cyllarus, along with asteroid Requiem (Honoring Death) dropped in to Complete two Vacancies in the Full Moon chart, filling a Grand Sextile and a Grand Cross. He completes the Storyboard for the Sedna Station. Herakles, or Hercules, had a Zeus-given assignment to help Rid the World of Threats to the Patriarchy, especially the Mysteries left over from the Matriarchy. On his journey to this end, he bunked with the unsuspecting Centaur Pholus.

Pholus had Responsibility for safekeeping the Sacred Wine of the Centaurs, and while Pholus was out shopping at Emporos Iosif’s, Herakles Opened the unhidden Sacred Wine. Did he know what he was doing? Probably. The scent carried, and the Centaurs immediately went mad and starting killing each other and everyone in sight. Pholus, true to his habit of ignoring consequences, got dead by picking up a poison dart that had killed someone else, and clumsily dropping it on his foot. Chiron (Despair and Miracles) got the Wound that would eventually make him give up his Immortality. The third corner of the Grand Trine is Centaur Chariklo, Chiron’s wife. And distraught Centaur Hylonome (Codependence and Self-Sovereignty) killed herself with the same spear that killed her Centaur-Stud Lover. That Lover was Cyllarus.

If you need a Program, We are the Centaurs in this story, and Predatory Capitalism is Herakles. We’re killing each other as we help kill the Planet, and we don’t even know why.

Busy Week

It’s been a busy week, but unfortunately Life intervened, and I haven’t had time to do the play-by-play, so we’ll have to play Catch-Up. We strive to help youalls see the correlations between what the planets are up to and what your Inner and Outer Circumstances are up to, though, and that’s easier in retrospect anyway, so Catch-Up is my middle name. If you can come to discern how the correlations operate in your own Life, that’ll serve you far better than someone else’s predictions ever would. Someone else’s predictions are either based on some ossified textbook, or on their own Lived Experience, which may be far removed from your own.

The Biggest astroevent here is the 7 March 2021 (8:30 pm PST) Exaggeration (Station) of the Energy of Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos), in 27 Gemini. The planet Chaos doesn’t stand for Disorder, it stands for What came before Zeus put everything in Order. That is, the Matriarchy. Gemini is the quintessence of Change, and gosh, it does seem like there’s an almost Unlimited amount of Change going on. Chaos will bring Unlimited Potential to Compassion (Cancer) starting next summer (July 2022). Wouldn’t it be Wonderful if we could just Let These Things, like Unlimited Compassion, Happen. Usually, what most Evident instead is everyone’s Resistance. I suppose we could see “America’s Rescue Plan” as Resistance as well, since it’s aimed at restoring what used to be Normal. On the other hand, we could see it as a boon to help get things Changed in our individual and institutional Lives, since the money comes without strings.

One way to Feel the Energy of dwarf planet Chaos, might be to Ask yourself, “What have I been Craving?” Not Addictions, but States of Mind or Emotion or Circumstances, or Manifestation Goals. Then, “Why haven’t I been Giving that to myself?” What? It’s not yours to Give? Who’s is it then? I thought this was a Free Will Planet! Giving yourself Permission to Receive is fundamental to any Manifestation. You may have well rationalized answers to both of the first two questions (Craving and not-Giving). If you can get a handle on why you’ve been depriving yourself, you may be able to Grok what that part of you Wants, rather than what they Don’t Want. You may be able to find a way to score what your Craver Wants and what your Depriver Wants. You could even Dream Up a way that each of them could Help the Other Get What They Want. But the first step is taking the Negative away from your Depriver. Maybe start by renaming them DeepRiver instead of Depriver.

And of course any progress toward Getting What Any Part of You Wants, will Trigger your Upper Limits. I can’t think of a better source than Gay Hendricks’s The Big Leap for dealing with those…

Then there’s the Out-of-Bounds Moon. This is a 22-year Cycle, eleven years In Bounds then eleven years when it goes Out of Bounds for a few days every two weeks. It’s subtle, but our Emotions are stronger when the Moon is Out of Bounds. It crossed the Tropic of Capricorn heading Southeast on 6 March at 12:36 am PST in 20 Sagittarius, Stood Still at 25:10 South Declination on 7 March at 12:40 pm PST in 11 Capricorn, and will cross the Tropic heading Northeast on 9 March at 1:36 am PST in 2 Aquarius. I know, the Moon always goes from East to West, doesn’t it. Well, not quite. You have to take a snapshot every night at Midnight to see it, but the Moon actually moves Eastward about 13 Degrees a day, while the Earth below it spins from West to East. So when we see the Moon heading West, it’s actually us heading East – at about a thousand miles per hour! Feel that 1,000 mph Breeze? Now you know why some people have decided to Trust their Senses and go back to the Flat Earth theory.

Speaking of Trust, asteroid Eurydike (which symbolizes Trust) Stood Still on 5 March (3am PST), and dwarf planet Asbolus (symbolizing our Intuitions) Stood Still on 4 March (8:15 am PST), so you may have Noticed that you weren’t Trusting your Intuitions, or Congratulating yourself because you were Trusting your Intuition! There’s a good chance we were Thinking or Dreaming about how We coulda beena Contenda! – Trusting or Mistrusting our Intuitions about our Unlimited Potential. On this Flat Earth, All There Is Is Now. That means everything that has appeared to have happened up till this Moment, was all Nothing except a Foundation for this Moment. Whether we Enjoyed Success or Learned (Consciously or Unconsciously) from Failure, it was all Perfect Preparation. Each Moment is a Fulcrum, where we can spin the wheel and Shift the Direction of our Trajectory. There’s Unlimited Potential in every Direction – which Direction will we Choose?

And finally, asteroid Pallas, which symbolizes Boundaries, left Aquarius and entered Pisces on 7 March (1pm PST). In Aquarius we were likely Overthinking our Boundaries, trying to make them fit some theory of how we thought they Should be. In Pisces, we’ll probably take them Overboard on the Emotional side, too easily Forgiving those who Transgress but with whom we have an Emotional Attachment, and being Overcasual about our Boundaries with people we aren’t Emotionally Attached to. In general, it will probably be Difficult to maintain Professional Boundaries. We can probably expect more #MeToo fireworks over the next eleven months, till Pallas enters Aries in mid-February 2022. Pallas took only three months to cross Aquarius, but it turns Retrograde in Pisces and spends eleven months there.

A ten-Degree span is called a Decanate, and each Sign holds three of them. The first third of Pisces is the Pisces Decanate of Pisces, the second third the Cancer Decanate, and the third the Scorpio Decanate. Pisces itself is about Emotional Wandering (Mutable Water). Since Emotions can be Compelling, what we Feel in a given Moment may be all we Feel. Even as we can be totally Absorbed by a different Emotion a few minutes later. Totally Clear to us, totally Confusing to Observers with a time horizon longer than a few minutes. Which is Good. That’s how Emotions work. It’s only the Intellect degrading them that would have it be otherwise.

The Emotional Wandering phase (Pisces Decanate) spans the rest of March and most of November (7 Mar-8 Apr, 22 Oct-26 Nov 2021). In the Cancer Decanate our Boundaries are likely to become more Empathetic and Compassionate. That’s April till mid-May, October, and December till mid-January (9 Apr-15 May, 6 Sep-21 Oct, 27 Nov-13 Jan 2022). The Scorpio Decanate in mid-May through August and mid-January through mid-February 2022 (16 May-5 Sep and 13 Jan-13 Feb) will likely be dedicated to Investigation and Judgment. Scorpio’s Relentless about seeking Truth, Emotional Truth that is. If you inadvertently Hurt someone’s Feelings while Pallas is in the Scorpio Decanate of Pisces, you may have a hard time convincing them it wasn’t Intentional. The Emotional Truth is that they’re Hurt, and that’s the Fact that matters.

The upcoming week is about Letting Go of Karma, as asteroid Atropos Stands Still on 10 March, and asteroid Lachesis Stations on 13 March. Atropos is about chunks of Karma that reach their Expiry Date on their own. Since Karma is what we’re Habituated to, though, that doesn’t mean that they Leave. Because it’s almost All That We Know, Letting Go can be difficult, as it leaves us staring into the Abyss of the Unknown. Bad Karma may Feel better than No Karma At All. Lachesis on the other hand, gives us an Opportunity to Let Go of a chunk that we’re sick of but that’s still Alive. Karma does not Hold us, We Hold Karma, so it’s Easy to Let Go of it. Except that the resulting Void can feel very much like “Something’s Wrong.” Watch for that Feeling – it means you’re on the right track.

Self-Love New Moon 2

In the 14 November 2020 New Moon chart, the planets in the “Basket of Grace” (blue upside-down Truss Bridge) under the red triangle are an interesting pair. They tell us How the Nasty Challenge (T-Square red triangle) will Self-Resolve. First there’s dwarf planet Eris, which is about Revelation of What’s Been Denied, and second there’s dwarf planet Asbolus, meaning Intuition, Merged With (Conjunct) the North Node, which indicates our Lifetime Mission.

Our Life Mission is way too multidimensional for the Dualistic Mind to be able to do more than get an occasional glimpse of it from one angle, so if our Life Mission were an Elephant, we’d be the seven Blind Men trying to figure out what it is. Our Intuition, though, is able to handle many more Dimensions, as long as we don’t constantly Diminish it by squeezing it into Words. So our Intuition has been giving us Videos of our Life Mission in the form of Skits from our Childhood and Past Lives (Eris).

Asbolus and the North Node are three and a half Degrees apart and separating, so the Connection is weakening, but both of them are well within three Degrees of the New Moon, so they’re Reconnected and Re-Energized by the New Moon. (Three Degrees is the Limit of Connection that we use in this blog; it and one Degree are the most common Limits of Connection that astrologers use. The less Difference between the Locations, the Stronger the Connection.) The Asbolus-North Node Connection was Exact at the end of August, within one Degree between mid-August and mid-September, and within three Degrees between late July and late September, so we’ve been Experiencing this Connection for a while.

Intuition can be illusive. My Intuition Teacher advised me to Ask myself “What If I Did Know?” and tentatively Believe the Answer I got. Translating an Intuition into Words is like pinning a Butterfly to a block of styrofoam – it might look good, but you’ve just Killed it. So Word Pictures of Intuitions are always tentatively or “…Or Something Like That,” as Eugene Gendlin liked to say. But the point is that the Information is Available. We can try retrieving it with a Theta such as “God/Goddess, Creator of All That Is, I Command that I Grok the Intuitions about my Life Mission that I Received over the Summer (North) or Winter (South) so they will Help Me Let Go of Karmic Impediments to Unconditional Self-Love. It Is Done, It Is Done, It Is Done. Thank You God/Goddess. Show Me!“

In case you haven’t read Heinlein, Grok means “to drink in all available aspects of reality or to become one with the observed,” the multidimensional equivalent of “Understanding,” which is what the Limited Dualistic Mind does. You may or may not Notice any lightbulbs over your head, but it may be better if you don’t, because then you’ll be less Tempted to Wordify it. Just Trust that you’ve Received and Grokked the Download, and that it has Changed you accordingly.

We need this because the next week plus will be Challenging. Our Ability to Trust, and to Grok what’s Trustable so we can Trust it, is Lit Up through 17 November, as asteroid Eurydike, which symbolizes Trust, is increasingly Exaggerated until 1am PST on 18 November. As usual with astrology, that’s for Good or Ill, as our Trust will be Challenged so we can Witness the places where we OverTrust and UnderTrust and Adjust accordingly.

In the New Moon chart asteroid Veritas, the Truth of the Mind, is Merged with Pluto, Compulsion. We may or may not Believe Facts, depending on whether or not they Align with our current Concept Set. For instance, many people Reject the Fact that the Earth is Flat (when seen from the center of a plain, for instance) because they’ve been Hypnotized by “Science” to Believe that it’s Round. It might Look Round from the Moon, but we don’t Live on the Moon. It might Look Curved from an airplane, but there are lots of Curves that aren’t Round. The Dualistic Mind will always Delude you unless you always specify the conditions under which each “Fact” is “True” – and what a Headache that would be.

It’s a lot Easier if we just recognize that like Loki or Coyote, the Mind is a Trickster, simply because it usually thinks in Either/Or, while the Universe is Both/And. “Figures don’t Lie, but Liars sure can Figure,” is a general rule that Statisticians use, if they know what they’re doing. The Truth of the Mind is always Relative to usually-unspecified and often-unknown Assumptions and Conditions, and it’s Dual, so it usually Flips rather than Adjusts. Goddess Knows we’re getting a graduate seminar in Exactly This in our Political Dramas these days. This is Grade-School Bullshit, and we need to see through it so we can instead Focus on The Most Important Thing – Climate Change, as the Dali Lama reminds us. If we don’t, Death by COVID might turn out to be the more Merciful Choice.

In the New Moon chart, Pluto-Veritas (Compulsive Belief in “Facts”) is Challenged (Squared) by Eris, or Revelation of What’s Been Denied. Compulsive Belief in “Facts” is also Contrasted (Opposed) to Respect for All Things (asteroid Hopi) – we will never see Peace and Collaboration and 5D and Sustainability as long as we invest our Trust in Either/Or. Reality is always Both/And.

Besides Compulsive Belief in “Facts” (Pluto-Veritas), Revelation of What’s Been Denied (Eris) and Respect for All Things (Hopi), the fourth corner of the big red square (a “Grand Cross” in astrologuese) in the New Moon chart is The Heart (Venus). It’s the Heart that Groks. The Truth of the Heart is symbolized by asteroid Aletheia. For any given Person, the Truth of the Heart is not Relative like “Facts” are, but Absolute. What we have to Remember about the Heart is that Everyone’s Truth of the Heart is Different. You can, if you’re clever, convince someone to Believe in the “Truth” of your “Facts.” Shame on you, but you can do it.

You’ll never convince anyone to Believe in the Truth of your Heart, if their Heart has a Different Truth. They might pretend to Believe to get you off their back, but our Heart-Truths are Permanent and Inviolable. We Recognize them Intuitively, not Intellectually. Heart-Truths are multidimensional, and suffer Wordification poorly. As long as Hupers fail to Recognize the Difference between Mind-“Facts” and Heart-Truths, and fail to Realize that Everyone’s Heart-Truths are Different, there will never be Peace on the Planet.

How does asteroid Aletheia relate to the New Moon chart? Like so…

That’s a “Grand Quintile,” Grand because it fills the whole chart, and Quintile because it features five planets more or less equally space around the Zodiac. Quintiles are about Teaching and Learning, and a Grand Quintile is about Multidimensional Teaching and Learning. There are twenty-six Relationships we’re being Taught to Grok…

• Truth of the Heart (Aletheia) to Self-Love (Sappho-New Moon)
• Heart-Truth to Pattern-Breaking (dwarf planet Orcus)
• Heart-Truth to Unlimited Potential (dwarf planet Chaos)
• Heart-Truth to Freedom (Fixed Star Alpheratz)
• Self-Love to Pattern-Breaking
• Self-Love to Unlimited Potential
• Self-Love to Freedom
• Pattern-Breaking to Unlimited Potential
• Pattern-Breaking to Freedom
• Unlimited Potential to Freedom

Then there are the sixteen Interaction terms…

• Heart-Truth to Self-Love to Pattern-Breaking etc (10)
• Self-Love to Pattern-Breaking to Unlimited Potential to Freedom etc (5)
• Pattern-Breaking to Unlimited Potential to Freedom to Heart-Truth to Self-Love (1)

That’s a lot to Learn. It’s a good thing it’s Intuitive, as it’d boggle the Mind. These apply to the New Moon chart, ie, the next two weeks. Meanwhile we’re Dealing with Trust until 18 November, as Eurydike Stands Still. So we’ll be Learning how Trust Relates to each of those twenty-six Relationships. Busy Busy Busy.

Then the Real Teaching takes center stage, as Intrusive Memories (dwarf planet Gonggong) are Lit Up till 20 November and Abuse and Privilege (dwarf planet Nessus) are Lit Up till 22 November. The Poster Child for Abuse and Privilege is the Antagonist of the Big Political Drama, and it’s our own Intrusive Memories of all of our own Karmic Abuse and Privilege Experiences and Patterns that will be Triggered. How many of us will be able to Differentiate the Present Moment from our Regressions?

And the Mind-Truths of Privilege for the White Supremacists? The Heart-Truths of Privilege for the Narcissists? I doubt that many of them will Know the Difference between Reality and their Projections, but we can always pray for Miracles. There are Intriguing Possibilities in the Angle between the New Moon and each of the three Stations – Eurydike, Gonggong, Nessus. We’ll talk about those in the next post.

“A Caveat though – we’ve also entered the Province (in Time) of Exaggerated Dependence or Exaggerated Independence (Hylonome Stationary till 5pm 23 September 2020 in 5 Capricorn).  That’ll put a very different twist on our Debriefing of what we’ve Learned this year about Self-Love and Consciousness around Relationship (Sappho and Juno in Libra).  For instance, if you’ve considered or experienced Big Changes in a Relationship, it may well Evolve Rapidly in the next few days.

“By all means Take Advantage of what you’ve Learned about yourself and Others, and especially Act to Expand your Consciousness and your Self-Love, but recognize that this ‘Crisis’ stage will probably be Temporary.  If you’re on the verge of Life-Scale Relationship Changes, you may want to ‘sleep on it’ for several days first.  It’s a great time to make such Changes, but if they’re done ‘in the heat of the moment’ you may regret it later.”

This astroevent is in our Jupiter Station chart…

Of course, all three of these charts are active all of the time this month, but this one is front and center this week.

Before we get there though, starting at 7:30 am PDT 23 September, the Moon goes Out of Bounds again, meaning we’ll be more Emotional than usual.  That also means that Our Instincts will be Sharper than they usually are.  Which can make trouble – we could misinterpret our Instincts to think that they mean we must be “right,” and let our Strong Emotions take over.  Don’t be surprised by an uptick in assaults and worse – but stay out of one yourself, K?  This lasts till 5:40 am PDT 25 September.

Dubya could have his invasion and destruction of the cultural history of Iraq (to erase all that evidence about his benefactors the Anunnaki) under cover of this Confusion between Instincts and Emotions, in his followup to the previous Moon OOB period and the WTC.  Don’t let the Antichrist pull off the same kind of tricks.

Meanwhile, till 6:10 am PDT 25 September, our Intuition is Exaggerated – or our ability to Ignore it! (Asbolus Stationary in 26 Gemini).  It’s a fabulous time to Notice that we’re Ignoring it, and correct that Habit.  The Difference between our Intuition and our Instincts is subtle.  It would be useful for us to Explore that Difference here where they’re in sharp contrast.  Our Strong Intuition Lights Up the same Energy (chart) that we Experienced early in the month when our Creative Genius was Standing Out (Ixion Stationary, 10 September) …

Which happens to be an Energy we’ll be Suffering Under – Wait!  I mean, Living With a lot for the next while, as it’s the major Energy in all of the following…

• Focus on The Most Important Thing (Saturn Stationary in 26 Capricorn) until 10pm PDT 28 September.

• Which is likely to be Our Unlimited Potential (Chaos Stationary in 29 Gemini) until 2:30 am PDT 29 September.

Remember that we likely just had a Big Breakthrough on this…

“So we use the Energy in our Survival Instincts, which run about as Deep as any Energy, to Excite our Passion for Growing our Unconditional Self-Love, [which in turn] Allows our Karmic Limitations to Shift and Open Up our Boundless Potential so it Changes our Emotional History and Creates a [New] Internal Reality (Emotion<->Thought) that Sustains the Truth of our Heart.”

Changing our Emotional History isn’t as hard as it sounds – we do it every time we have a significant Change of Perspective on some Profound past event, or Forgive someone at whom we got very Angry when we Realize that it wasn’t their Fault, or See the World through New Eyes for any of a number of other reasons.

Also notice that these two Stations (Saturn and Chaos) Relate to one another through Curiosity (Quincunx).  The Most Important Thing is likely to be Our Unconstrained Potential, but we need to Grok the fact that Our Potential is far more Multidimensional than our Dualistic Mind can ever Understand and Utilize Effectively.  The only way we can work with our Unlimited Potential is via a Tool that is as Unlimited, namely our Intuition.  The thick plottens, doesn’t it.

The Saturn Station is of course the second step in our Initiation into the Digital Age, the first being the 12 September Station of Jupiter, as the two prepare to Merge at the Capricorn Solstice.  Opening to our Unlimited Potential will be a very valuable part of Creating Our Own Reality in the Digital Age, which may entail a lot of Suffering for those who Don’t Have This Luxury.

• A Huge Teaching about our Confidence (Chariklo Stationary in 25 Capricorn) till 1:20 pm PDT 3 October.  If we’re Open to it, the Teaching is likely to be that Self-Confidence and Self-Doubt are not Created by External Processes – they are products of our own Internal Decision Process.  The Teaching is Huge because it’s Merged with (Conjunct) and nearly simultaneous with…

• A Big Shift in the Underlying Trance through which We See the World (Pluto Stationary in 23 Capricorn) through at least 6:30 am PDT 4 October.

It’s going to be a very busy couple of weeks.

Self-Sovereignty

As is often the case, Dr. Kim D’Eramo’s video for this week is right on with this week’s astroevent..

“We’re trained from a very young age not to think for ourselves, not to question, and not to honor what we feel inside.  We look outside ourselves for answers, and when things don’t go well, we assume it is our own inadequacy that’s to blame.

“What if everything you’ve been told about your body, your health, and healing was a lie?

“Join me in this episode of MindBody TV to unwind the old programming as you begin to see the unthinkable power you already ARE, so you can access health, vitality, and miracles you were told were not possible!”

Until 18 April 2020 (8pm PDT) the dwarf planet that symbolizes Self-Sovereignty and Codependence grows increasingly Strong (Hylonome Stationary in 18 Capricorn).  Aiding and abetting this Examination of our Conscious and Unconscious Choices around Claiming or Giving Away our Power are the asteroids that symbolize…

1. The Truth of the Mind (Conjunct Veritas in 19 Capricorn) and
2. The Contrast between Being Victimized by our Fate and Making Our Own Choices (Sextile to Moira in 17 Scorpio), plus the dwarf planet that symbolizes
3. Our Intuition (Quincunx to Asbolus at 20 Gemini).

Our Intuition gets the Strongest Emphasis here (Finger of the Goddess or “Yod” [Pay Attention!] pointing to Asbolus [The Sight]).  Because the Mind almost always Aligns with the Olde Ego, we’re unlikely to Expand our Consciousness by relying on the Mind.  But there are times when the Mind has to Recognize that its Delusions are in fact Delusional – even the Antichrist had to face his Fantasy about Absolute Power this week, and you can be sure that there are few things that he hates more than backing down from a Posturing.  But the Next Step, finding the Right Path after admitting we were on the wrong one, requires Intuition, not more Analysis.

We Begin here a six-year Cycle around how the Mind and its Idealism Dance with Self-Sovereignty (Hylonome Initiates Veritas 8 April in 18 Capricorn, “The Union Jack flies from a British Warship: The protection afforded to individuals and groups by powerful institutions in charge of maintaining order”).  You can see it in the Protests for and against Self-Quarantine orders.  In Michigan and elsewhere the Libertarians march, and the Baptists convene, in defiance of the Governor’s Isolation orders, while in South Dakota it’s the Governor who refuses to enact them.  Of course the Union Jack was the symbol of Protection for some, and the symbol of Colonial Abuse for others.  It will be interesting to see how this Resolves Itself over the next six years.
